The Chandler Youth Academy is a one week program, which affords Chandler residents, ages 12-16 with valuable learning experience in various jobs and functions within the Chandler Police Department.  Officers from the Traffic Unit, Patrol Division, Bike Team, K-9, and Community Services instruct students.  Students get involved with many hands-on activities which will provide them with an insight into police functions and procedures, here in Chandler, i.e. use of force, forensics, crime scene investigation and much more.

The Youth Academy was created to develop citizen awareness and understanding of the role of law enforcement. The Youth Academy is designed to educate the students that working together can promote a safer community.

The Youth Academy is held one week during the Chandler Unified School Districts intersessions. The Academy runs Monday – Friday, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.
